The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Innovation Bay have announced the return of the ARENA Renewables Startup Showcase for its fifth year.

Startups in the renewable energy, clean tech, and climate tech sectors are invited to apply to be featured at the event, with applications closing on September 30, 2024. The selected startups will have the opportunity to present directly to investors, secure funding, and attract future partners.

The event has previously featured notable companies such as Hysata, 5B, RayGen, and MGA Thermal, many of which have gone on to secure impressive funding rounds.

"The work that startups are doing in the renewable energy and climate change sector is of critical importance if Australia is going to achieve its goal of net zero emissions," said Darren Miller, CEO of ARENA. "The ARENA Renewables Startup Showcase has become the premier event to ensure these visionary founders are connected with the right investors so that innovation in this sector continues to thrive."

The Showcase event will take place on November 21, 2024, in Sydney, a culmination of weeks of engagement with the Innovation Bay community of founders and investors. The program will include thought leadership on the future of emerging technologies in the renewable energy sector, a sit-down gala event experience, and networking opportunities.

Phaedon Stough, CEO and Co-Founder of Innovation Bay, said, "The ARENA Renewables Startup Showcase is the vehicle to match the best startups with the right investors. As we look to the future and the next phase of renewables, there has never been a more important time to foster the growth of this sector."
